Following the work of Tasmanian Liberal senator Claire Chandler to seek to ensure those born biologically female are the sole participants in girls' and womens' sport in Australia, Senator Antic has asked questions in Canberra of bureaucrats of 'what is a woman', drawing convoluted responses. Senator Antic continues to advocate for those that have lost employment or other benefits from their personal health choices surrounding vaccination.
